RobMGti 0 Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) I thought it may be of benefit to people on the forum to have an up to date list to work from of what companies charge for a map. Im aware some are done per hours and some are a flat rates but i still think it may be of use. Im not looking for peoples comments regarding how good the mapper is (that is up to the individual to decide after researching them) just a price. Here are the ones im aware of looking at recent posts and my own research. - UPDATED Emerald - £250+Vat Flat Rate ChipWizards - £450+Vat SBC - £ Longmans - £ HiFlowHeads - £Waiting for Andy to phone me back today, will update when have it Mikeanics - £50+Vat for first hour, £30+Vat per hour after that TMS - £420+Vat flat rate (Do NOT Map Emerald ECU's at all) Tuning Jap - £100/Hr+VAT Track and Road - £300 flat rate Please add any you know of below Edited January 21, 2006 by RobMGti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobMGti 0 Posted January 21, 2006 That per hour Rob or just for the use of the RR and mapping is extra? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robsbc 0 1 Cars Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) That per hour Rob or just for the use of the RR and mapping is extra? A rolling road session is £40 plus VAT and I presume it's an hourly rate. Edited January 21, 2006 by Robsbc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) Longmans have there own, Or they did a few years back when I was there, Owens always get good results But the price of Chipwizards hardly seems worth mucking around with the std ECU, I was going that route but now I think not Edited January 22, 2006 by Miles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smckeown 1 Posted January 22, 2006 He's obviously inflating his price as he's got a monopoly and people might be prepared to pay that as they have saved on buying the 2nd hand ECU in the first place. Shame really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted January 22, 2006 Wayne mentioned upping his charges to try to re-coup some of the money he has spent getting his own place sorted out. Didn't know it would be a 50% hike though. Still, £30 for a loom & ecu from a breakers with all sensors etc & then £450 mapping isn't that bad really imo. Emerald etc would more if there wasn't a base map to start from. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted January 23, 2006 That is true, But what if you want a remap down the line?, Short term = Cheap long term Not, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted January 23, 2006 Short term = Cheap long term Not,Aren't they all? If you change engine spec frequently it'll cost for a re-map on any if your not home tweeking & hoping for the best. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted January 23, 2006 If you buy an aftermarket ECU and you're paying by the hour, you should recoup the cost of chip wizards mapping after two sessions. When john Read had his rollers I paid £300 for the inital set up and £100 a time for remaps later. Which was fair given the time and effort he put into it. I But the truth is Chipwizards can charge what he likes as long as people continue to pay it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
